Default Re: Engine Harness rebuild

It's that !@#$% resistance wire in the ignition wiring. When I first bought my Nova it had an aftermarket chromed ignition coil. If you left the car sitting with the ingnition on and the points happened to be closed, then the wiring would start smoking after a few minutes. I'm sure Chevy saved a lot of money on each car by not using an expensive ballast resistor. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] !@#$ bean counters. I think that that was the dumbest thing Chevy ever did, next to the fall apart rubber engine mounts.
